Catholic Community on the Jersey Shore
Our Blaze ministry offers resources to help you reach the hearts of middle school girls with the love of Christ and the truths of our Catholic faith. Two years of curriculum, a kit full of take home gifts and icebreakers, a mother/daughter devotional, retreat guides, Bible studies and prayer journals give you all you need to communicate with middle school girls as they navigate truth and lies in their everyday life.

Vacation Bible School is conducted the first week of August each summer. Children from ages 3 to 13 are invited to attend. Our ministry is bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to young people through song, arts and crafts, skits and games. We proclaim the news of salvation in a joyful, fun atmosphere in hopes that the children will learn how much they are loved by God. Many volunteers are needed each year. Teachers, aides, musicians, teens and all others are welcome.
For additional information or to register your child, please contact VBS Coordinators Marion Berry at 732-775-1156 and Laura Connell at 908-915-3992.
